Tricolore, enflamme nous du feu sacré Pour bâtir notre pays toujours plus beau 𝄆 Autour d'un fleuve Majesté 𝄇
Tricolore au vent, ravive l'idéal Qui nous relie aux aïeux, à nos enfants 𝄆 Paix, justice et travail.
Tricolored flag, light in us the sacred flame, In order to always build a beautiful country, 𝄆 Around the majestic river.
Tricolored flag in the wind, revive the ideal, Which links us to our ancestors and our children, 𝄆 Peace, justice, and labor.
